The youth will take an active role in climate change adaptation (CCA) and local disaster management programs that are expected to also strengthen their spirit of volunteerism and unleash their potential in helping build disaster-resilient communities, reports Manila Times.

Empowering youth participation is spelled out in a Joint Memorandum Circular of the Department of Interior and Local Government and the National Youth Commission, where the LGU will engage the youth sector as member of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (LDRRMC).
